A brooding dark mage stands at the center of an ancient stone circle, shrouded in swirling mist and flickering shadows. Dark robes billow around him, inscribed with arcane runes that pulsate with a dark energy. As he raises his arms, ominous shadow creatures begin to emerge from the ground, their eyes glowing like embers, ready to obey his sinister commands. The air crackles with tension as the night deepens, illuminated only by the flickering light of his magic.
